In which this aotjon would nave to b

holding his concurrence from tbo broad
doctrine laid down by the cotirt tint un-
der no circumstances had a court of equity
Jurisdiction to interrero by Injunction to
prevent a removal of nit officer however
fraudulent or unjust the election in
the Wilson case in North Carolina in lSdJ
the doctrine ot the Sawyer case is modified
upon the points ucder consideration Au
examination ot that case falls to support
the suggestion The Wilson caso in-
volved the title to a State office and thu
validity ot a removal therefrom nut It
was an action at law It was n proceed-
ing In quo warranto and was carried from
tho supreme court of North Carolina to
that ot the United States by writ of er-
ror It did not Involve the Question ot
equity Jurisdiction at nil The
oase of Jn re Sawyer Is a leading case
upon tho subject and sett c3 conclusively
for this court tho principle whloh muot
obtain In the injunctive power of a court
of equity Tho case is ro olaborato that
any ouber citation ot authority on the
principle which it receives Is wholly
superfluous I should lnve been able ti
decide this question at the close of the
argument but tho Importance of tho in-
terests Involved and the outrageous char-
acter the electoral Includes under tho
forms of law which the bills charge that
the State contest board ts about to cou
sumrante had lod me to give the question
a fuller and more carotid investigation
This has only confirmed = < first impres-

denying the motion for a preliminary In-
junction In both questions
Frankfort Ky February II Tho action
of Judge Taft In Cincinnati today denying
Federal Jurisdiction In the contest for
the minor places on tho Stato ticket did
not discourage Taylor In the least He
contends that the matter has nothing
wholover to do with his own capo and
when informed ot Judge Taftfl decision
gave out the following statement to the
Associated Press
The decision cf Judge Taft holding that
his court has no Jurisdiction in tho case
ot the minor State olllccrs does not affect
tho merits of thu case lie does not de-
termine that tho petitioners had no merits
in their cases but only that hl3 court
could uct take Jurisdiction < iJd right the
wrong If ho tied held that he had Juris-
diction it would havo all been over for
the outrages wero so glaring that the re-
publicans would havo won ha nds down
The decision In said cases does nat In tho
least affect my case W 3 Taylor
Governor of Kentucky
After giving out tho statement Taylor
said 1 nover really believed that tho
try it This Is a case where all tho legal
remedies must be tried and exhausted If
necessary We will to overy thing that
the courts afferded us
The suit of Beckham vs Taylor for tho
possession o the office of governor was
brought today in the rlrcunt court at
Vianhfert Up to a late hour the sheriff
had not succeeded in serving notice on
Taylor and tbo chances of his doing so did
net seem bright as all visitors to the
otflee ot the governor or to tbo gubernato
rial mareion were comnelled to run 1
rauntlct of guards who were on tho look-
out for gentlemen with a suspicious paper
The petition in the suit holds that W 8
Taylor Is not the governor of the State
and that with an armed force he hold
possession of tho executive building It
U alleged that ho Is drawing moaoj with-
out authority of law from the Stato trew
ury pardoning convicts and doing other
things that are detrimental to the wolfore
of tSo State The petition asks that the
court enjoin him from performing any of
the duties of governor and assuming any
crntrol whatever over the legislature Ap-
plication for the Injunction will be nude
rlday before Judge Cautrlll at George

over f r ono day
The senate transacted no business to-
day
In the house thcro was a warm session
Representative Cantrlll called up tbo sen-
ate resolution denouncing Taylor in
unsparing terms charging him with r
eponsibtlltv for tho conditions of law-
lessness at Frankfort calling upon him to
withdraw the militia and surrender tho
executive office to J C W Beckham
who Js declared to be the lawful governor
Ttenfesentatlvo Orr took exception to
some parts ot the resolution stating that
f
t m > i
Taylor had brought down a thousand
irmed mountaineers to Frankfort and
that as a result ot that visitation Governor
Soebel had been assassinated Mr Orr
laid that Taylor should not he condemned

be had brought these mountaineers down
It mav be true that tho shot was fired
from tbo executive building but we dont
know It to be a fact Mr Orr said ha
could not favor these sections of thu
resolutions
Representative Cantrlll after recount-
ing the incidents leading up to tliU dis-
order at Frankfort said We know that
anarchy and lawlessness reigned as a re-
sult of the visit of these mountaineers
that they were fed and quartered by re
publican officials serving Under their ex
lied and nur voices silenced and not pro-

mand that the armed force be Withdrawn

ocratic members could think of returning
to Frankfort the soldiers must be sent
away No objection they said would be
raised to a small number for a bodyguard
for Taylor personaly As tor the lcgs
lature It needed no protection
Taylor replied through the medium ot
Custodian Thompson thai the request ot

but promised that the legislature should
not ba molested in any way For the
committee Custodian Thompson thsn
asked Thylor if the same conditions would
exist next Monday around the State hotito

A TEST FINANCE VOTE
The Chandler Amendment Was Defeated by
a Clear lajorlly
INDICATING SUCCESS OF CURRENCY BILL
Mr Teller Replied to Mr Allison
Speeches Under the TenMinute
Utile Final Vote Todny
Washington February 14 Throughout
Its session today tho senate had tho finan-
cial bill under discussion After 2 oclock
the debato passed under the ten minute
rules and at times becamo spirited and
Interesting Lato In the afternoon a test
vote indicating an overwhelming majority
for the passage of the bill was taken Mr
Chandler Kep N It offered an amend-
ment to authorize tho president to appoint
commissioners to any International bime-
tallic conference that would be colled and
It was defeated by a vote of 15 to 25 Tho
Chandler proposition oiit ot tho way tho
discussion proceeded on the amendment
brought in by the flnanco committee pro-
viding that tho provisions of the bill are
not intended to place any obstacles In tbe
way ot International bimetallism The
democratic senators arraigned the republi-
cans for presenting tho amendmont de-
claring that thOy wero Insincere nnd that
the proposition was Intended to hoodwink
the people and catch votes No voto on the
amendment was reached Tho final vote
on the amendments and the bill will bo
taken eome time tomorrow
Mr Teller was recognized to reply to the
speech of Mr Allison delivered yesterday
Ho had waited In vain ho said for an ex-
planation of the houso bill which techni-
cally was the measuro under considera-
tion He approached all questions relating
to the finances of the country with sus-
picion Ho thought the house bill ought
to be considered carefully as It might pos-
sibly become law It had been drafted by
a commission composed of acute lawyers
and tbero was force and strength behind
Mr Teller took Issue with Mr Allison
that the United States are on tho gold
standard We are not on the gold stand-
ard except by the unauthorized actiun of
the treasury We are ou what Is sometimos
called a limping silver standard and some-
times a limping gold standard Nobody
outside ot the United States has consid-
ered tbe United States on the gold Stand-
ard but It may be said that we practi-
cally hove been coerced by oxecutlvo usur-
pation and transgressiou of tho law to
proceed as If we wero on a gold standard
Mr Teller denied that tne Unted States
were under the law on the gold standard
as had been argued but that the pending
bill was to bo cnaoted Into law because
the gcd ttandird advocates wero atrald
that tbo American peple would put tome
man In the WbSto House who would no
favor tho gold standard Thl3 feature con-
stituted the reason for tho pending bill
the purpose being to embody the gold
ftanduid Into the statutes so that It could
not be disturbed without great difficulty
Mr Teller said there never had hers an
hour tluce 1S79 even In tho severest
panics when there was the slightest doubt
that the greenbacks would bo redcemol
In gold He maintained therefore there
was no reason for the legislation proposed
lo the pending measure In conclusion
Mr Toller said that the republican party
had abnndoned its principles which were
tho greatest good tor the greaic3t num-
ber It ha1 fallen into evil iand3 and
was being used by evil Influences There
is no hope said he for the country
from It Its policy will be dictated from
th greatest commercal cn en and bo
ever borno and weighel dovn by greed
Mr Chandler N 11 propos d an
amendment to the committee amsndment
rcla ing to bimetallism The Chandler
preposition authorized the preslleut to
appoint commissioners to any interna
tlotol conference called hy the Unltd
S ates or any other country to arrange
a blnutalltc agreement
Mr Teller euggeotod that this was ths
exlrtlng law and asked Mr Chandler to
withdraw the amendment but Mr Chand-
ler dccllnod saying that if tho amend-
ment was existing law it could do no
lure to adopt it
Mr Vest Mo announced his purpose
to vote against both tho Aldrlch amend-
ment and the Chandler amendment to it
because he regarded the proposition for
an international conference a fraud and
pretext JttEt as when the adoption ot tho
McEnery resolution after the ratification
of tho Paris treaty which was merely for
the purposo ot supplying some senators
with a shallow ford over which to cross
the stream and what had slneo besn en
tirely ignored The intetlon ot the
pending bill was to kill silver nnd it
would prove as effective in that office a3
a dagger or a dose of prusle acid would
bo in disposing of animal life It woujd
bo absurd to send a cJntmlsrion abroad
asking for a bimetallic conferecce In view
of the declaration for gold
Mr Teller said tho American press
throughout the country was opposed to tho
bimetallic amendment Ho said It would
0 l J ° us t0 put 8Uch an amendment
in this bill
as It would have no force or
effect It was trifling with a grave ques
lon simply to catch votes It was a great
letting down on the part ot tho finance
committee and a childish treatment of he
